Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology

Program Overview

Technology is everywhere - from the cars we drive to the cell phones in our hands to the heat in our homes. Electrical Engineering Technologists are professionals who apply the principles of electricity to develop, implement, and maintain systems that deliver power, transmit information, or control electro-mechanical devices. The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program at Red Deer College is a unique blend of the "traditional" discipline of power generation and distribution with the more contemporary specialization of Instrumentation and automatic control.

All Engineering Technologists learn fundamental skills in mathematics, sciences, computer programming, technical writing, and project management. EET students at Red Deer College pursue advanced studies in power distribution, maintenance and troubleshooting, PLC programming, Electric Machines, Industrial Data Networks and Data Acquisition Systems. Based on National Technology Benchmarks for Electrical Engineering Technology, this program, coupled with industry experience, will lead to the Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) and Professional Technologist (PTech) designations. Graduates will develop knowledge and skills that enable them to:

  • Employ relevant industry health and safety standards, codes, policies and procedures in accordance with current legislation, regulations and organizational policy.
  • Develop designs and specifications for electrical distribution and utilization systems.
  • Design, select, deploy and maintain power electronics equipment and systems.
  • Analyze and solve complex technical problems by applying principles of advanced mathematics and science.
  • Design, specify, deploy and maintain rotating electrical machines and transformers.
  • Design, specify, test, deploy and maintain industrial data communications networks, equipment, media, and software.
  • Employ computer hardware and software to create, test, evaluate, and simulate electrical and mechanical systems.
  • Apply the principles and practices of project management.
  • Research, analyze, prepare, author, and communicate in written, verbal, nonverbal, and presentation formats, technical documentation appropriate for a variety of audiences.
  • Identify, develop, and demonstrate strategies for maintaining continuing competency and practice standards associated with global industry trends and practices.
  • Design, specify, deploy and maintain industrial control and automation systems.
